1469 Made A Concession And Got Slapped In The Face
Madam Wen Lai looked at Kang Qingzhi coldly. “Miss Kang, even if you’re the champion of two consecutive competitions, you have to abide by the rules of the competition. After all, Young Master Kang just said that there’s always someone better. There are many people who are more outstanding than you. The judges all think that Miss Qiao’s work is perfect. Maybe she’s stronger than you. You can’t abuse your power and deprive others of the chance to advance!
“Hence, the person I announce to be eliminated is Miss Kang. According to the rules of the competition, Miss Qiao will advance.”
Kang Qingzhi instantly widened her eyes. Her body swayed as tears trickled down her face. She sobbed softly. “No… No! Sister Xi Xi, I beg you. I… I don’t want to be eliminated. I only have one hobby. Can you…”
She was already eliminated now. Could it be that she had to watch helplessly as Qiao Xi became the champion?!!
Kang Jichuan’s heart ached. He hurriedly came over to support Kang Qingzhi, feeling guilty and troubled. Xi Xi was his biological sister. He had bribed the judges and caused Xi Xi to be eliminated, so he felt very guilty. However, Qingzhi’s health was not good. She only liked to make perfumes. Why should Xi Xi bicker with a patient?
Moreover, it was not that Qingzhi did not have the ability. It was just that her illness had been serious recently and she did not have the energy to make perfumes. As Qingzhi’s sister, Xi Xi should be more tolerant.
Kang Ru’s gaze shifted between Qiao Xi and Kang Qingzhi. His heart ached for Qiao Xi, but he also pitied Kang Qingzhi.
Qingzhi’s illness kept acting up. She might suddenly die one day. If she did not win the championship this time, it would be a lifelong regret.
Kang Ru said hesitantly, “Xi Xi, you also know that Qingzhi’s health isn’t good. She really wants to participate in this competition. Can you let her have her way this time? Just take it as if it’s for my sake…”
“Why should I give in?” Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with coldness. She stood up and was about to walk out. “Sister Xue Yi and Ah Zheng are right. Since the Kang family doesn’t welcome me, I’ll leave. For the sake of the family’s adopted daughter, my biological brother didn’t hesitate to bribe the judges to eliminate me. My biological father also wants me to swallow my anger for the sake of his adopted daughter.
“I’m not a fool. I’ve clearly been wronged, yet you still want me to swallow my anger. I made a concession, but I didn’t expect to get slapped in the face as a result of it. I really can’t get along with Miss Kang, so I’ll choose to leave the Kang family.”
Kang Ru said anxiously, “Xi Xi, don’t be rash…”
Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned around to walk in front of Kang Ru. She quickly snatched the photos back from him and said coldly, “Mr. Kang, I’ll take my mother’s photos back with me. If my mother were still around, she would absolutely not let me suffer. Since you no longer have my mother and me in your hearts, there’s no point in letting you keep her photos.”
As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, she turned around domineeringly and pulled Gu Zheng toward the door. “From now on, I won’t be in contact with the Kang family anymore. Let’s pretend not to know each other.”
Kang Ru shouted in a panic, “Xi Xi! Xi Xi!”
He never expected that what should have been a happy day would become like this.
Kang Ru lowered his eyes to look at his empty hand. Before he could finish looking at Yunqiu’s photos, they were snatched away by Qiao Xi. His heart seemed to be missing a piece, and it hurt so much that he frowned.
At this moment, he finally panicked and quickly rushed to Qiao Xi’s side, but he was stopped by Gu Zheng’s tall figure.
Kang Ru’s face was ashen, and he did not know how to salvage Qiao Xi. He could only be stunned on the spot as he watched Qiao Xi and the others leave in a daze. This scene could not help but remind him of the scene of Xia Yunqiu leaving 20 years ago, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
Why… Why did she have to leave him? Yunqiu was like this, and so was Xi Xi!
Madam Wen Lai also understood the scene in front of her. She slowly stood up, her eyes cold. “Mr. Kang, logically speaking, this is your family matter and I shouldn’t interfere. But aren’t you going too far by forcing your biological daughter to withdraw from the competition for an adopted daughter?”
Seeing that Kang Ru was silent, she looked at Kang Qingzhi coldly and sneered. “Miss Kang, I wanted to recommend you to be a judge in the perfume competition earlier. Now, it seems that someone like you isn’t qualified at all!”
Kang Qingzhi’s body trembled as she leaned against Kang Jichuan weakly.
With that, Madam Wen Lai stood up and left angrily. Only the Kang family and the butler were left in the originally lively villa.
Kang Ru’s emotions were extremely complicated. He felt guilty and regretful. He even wanted to rush out and beg Qiao Xi to come back, but the arrogance in his bones did not allow him to do so.
